Best Place to People Watch

Lady Bird Lake

Lady Bird Lake, the aqua artery of this fine city formerly known as Town Lake, draws an estimated 1.5 million people per year, mostly Austinites, from all walks of life to its cool breeze and inviting shade. People-watching, not only the proud activity of the bored and eccentric, is prime in the hike-and-bike bustle that rings Lady Bird Lake every day. Admire lovers as they stroll hand-in-hand, or check out the parade of dogs. You can rest at one of the many benches nestled along the 10.1 miles of trail or take a canoe out on the lake itself and gander at more than just the geese.
